It's the moment we've all been waiting for: Apple has finally announced the availability of its Apple Watch Edition, available for $10,000 when pre-orders begin April 10.

Given the price of the Apple Watch Edition, Apple CEO Tim Cook told attendees at the company's media event on Monday that it will be available in limited quantities and only in a limited number of Apple Stores.

Apple Watch prices revealed

We're watching the “Spring Forward” event currently underway in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts and CEO Tim Cook has revealed that the aluminum Sport edition of the wrist-worn device will cost $349 for the smaller 38mm model and $399 for the larger 42mm one.

The other model, the stainless steel Apple Watch, will set you back between $549 and $1,049 for the smaller 38mm version, depending on your choice of wrist band. The larger 42mm version will set you back $599 to $1,099 — again, depending on your band of choice.

As for the Apple Watch Edition, it's going to start at a whopping $10,000 and all the way up to $17,000. Quantities and availability will be limited.

iOS 8.2 will be available for download today

On stage at Apple's media event on Monday, Tim Cook announced that iOS 8.2 will launch to the public today. The software update, which has been in beta for several weeks now, will bring about the Apple Watch companion app that will allow your iPhone to talk to the upcoming wearable.

We saw a preview of the app back in January, when it was unearthed from a developer beta. It will allow users to customize a wide range of things on their Apple Watch including the Clock app with personalized monograms and alerts for notifications, people in your Contacts list, and more.

Apple Watch will have “all day”, 18-hour battery life

We've been waiting for months to hear how long the Apple Watch's battery will last, and luckily the Cupertino-based company has appeased us during its "Spring Forward" media event on Monday. Apple says the Apple Watch will have an 18-hour battery life, or what Apple calls "all day battery life".

"During a typical day you can expect 18 hours. This works for most people I think," Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, told attendees at the event.

Apple unveils new MacBook with Retina display, available in gold, silver and space gray

Apple’s “Spring Forward” event is underway at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts and CEO Tim Cook said that Apple has challenged itself to “reinvent the notebook” before he took the wraps off a brand new MacBook model which weighs just two pounds and is available in silver, space gray and “a stunning gold.”

Featuring a twelve-inch screen with a Retina pixel resolution of 2304-by-1440 pixels, the display produces clearer images and consumes up to thirty percent less energy. The trackpad, now called, Force Touch trackpad, ditches away the mechanical design in favor of four sensors and Haptic Engine from the Apple Watch.

Apple has studied platinum Watch models

Apple's highly anticipated “Spring Forward“ media event is due in less than two hours and a report by The Wall Street Journal is now alleging that the company has been evaluating platinum for future versions of the Apple Watch.

Apple promised to offer the wrist-worn device in three versions created from custom alloys of stainless steel and aluminum, each in two finishes, as well as “unique formulations of 18-karat yellow and rose gold.”

Here’s how to watch today’s Apple Watch event live

Despite a huge unveiling of the Apple Watch at its September event in 2014, Apple remained incredibly quiet on specific details of its wearable, including some features and pricing. Luckily, Apple is holding a "Spring Forward" media event on Monday to help ease our minds.

Like its past events, Apple will be streaming the Apple Watch event on Monday for its customers to watch from its website.

Best Buy may not carry Apple Watch at launch

Hours ahead of Apple's media event, Reuters reports that one of the biggest Apple product sellers, Best Buy, may not be carrying the Apple Watch at the wearable's launch in April. Best Buy wouldn't provide confirmation, however Reuters cites "sources with direct knowledge of the matter."

Apple Watch: everything we know so far

Speculation has surrounded Apple Watch for years – far back into the technological dark ages when it was referred to as 'iWatch' – but, despite being exceedingly more enlightened at present, we still don't know everything about Apple's long-awaited wearable.

That will change on Monday when Apple's 'Spring Forward' event goes live, at which time more information about Apple Watch is expected to release, including prices and additional features. After the event, those attending will likely be able to go hands-on with an array of fully functioning Apple Watches in the white structure going up beside the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

The team at iDownloadBlog will be covering the keynote as it happens, per usual. Until then, however, tech and fashion enthusiasts must occupy themselves with the facts given us by Apple and leaks from other sources. As a result, we've compiled everything we know and think we know about Apple Watch.

Tomorrow, Apple pulls off the veil on Apple Watch final details. With the "Spring Forward" event, several years of speculation finally come to a point. Last week, several final pieces of information were leaked, but many more questions still remain.

Apple stands to completely disrupt the wearable device category, as it has done with both iPhone and iPad. While other competitors have the early jump, it could be possible for Apple Watch to become the new standard, to which all future wearable technologies are benchmarked.
